Third person POV
As they were talking to each other, Kazaki went to the receptionist to get details for the quest.
Kazaki: "So. What exactly do we have to do?"
Receptionist: "Ah, you seem to have interest in this. Well then, in this quest, you have to get the Fire Crystal from a normal Fire Dragon. He is located in Lanes of Fire. It is a narrow pathway where he stops and challenges strong adventurers. If you are lucky enough, you can get him or just come back with small fragments of crystal from nearby monsters."
Kazaki, as he thinks: "So this dragon challenges strong adventures for duels. That means he is a growing dragon."
As everyone was done mocking each other, Roel came and said to Kazaki, "So, what's the quest?"
Kazaki: "We have to move. I will tell you on the way"
As he, Roel, Amaya, and James left the guild, Kazaki remembered something.
Kazaki: "First, we have to get gear, and I know exactly where we can get it."
As they went to a famous blacksmith, Jack the Blacksmith, someone was coming to the kingdom. Everyone was excited. As the kingdom gates were opened, a horse wagon entered the capital. A man inside the wagon with his team of four was going to meet the king.
Jack: "Welcom- Oh, it's you, Kazaki. I know exactly what you want."
As he pulled out a bag from under the desk, he said to him, "Oh, I see you brought your friends."
Kazaki: "Yes, everyone, feel free to take any weapon you like." He then took the bag.
Jack laughs: "Yes, take any gear. I am the best blacksmith in the capital."
As everyone started to look around the shop, Roel started choosing between a katana, a long sword, or a halberd. Aife, meanwhile, already decided to take a halberd. James was now choosing between a sword or a battle axe. Amaya takes a staff since she is a mage. After much choosing, Roel eventually chose a katana instead.
"This one, sir," he said to Jack.
"Good choice, my friend." Jack chuckled. "That one is made of hard steel and iron mingled with titanium."
"Thanks."
Kazaki and the others then looked at his new weapon.
"Nice one."
"That looks cool,"
"Good job, man."
Roel then looked at them. "Thanks, you guys."
Eventually, James chose a battle axe instead. "Sir, I'll take this."
"Nice one, my friend." Jack gave him a thumbs-up.
Jack: "Remember, you don't choose your weapon. The weapon chose you, as my ancestors say!" He then laughed.
Kazaki: 'So, everyone ready?"
Everyone with full energy screamed, "Yes!"
As they said goodbye to Jack and left the shop, they went on a beautiful journey. They left the kingdom and into the first forest they went.
Aife: "So this the Forest of the Gelters?"
Amaya: "Yes, it separates the grand mountain river from the Gelters."
Aife: "River sounds are so good to listen to."
The boys are busy looking at their shared map for any route through the forest.
James: "There should be a route here."
He points at one part of the map of the forest.
Roel: "Might be…"
Kazaki then nodded silently.
Then, they decided on a trail through the forest that involved crossing a river through a brick bridge.
Roel: "You know what? This one instead."
James and Kazaki nodded in agreement.
So, they went to the girls and one of them said, "Okay, girls, let's go."
Aife and Amaya then went to them, and the party of five went through the said trail through the forest.
Along the way, Kazaki gets his guitar from his back and looks at it. The guitar has an emblem of the Wolf of Night, indicating that the weapon was special. Upon seeing that, he was serious.
As they were walking, Amaya and Aife started thinking, "How will Kazaki use that as a weapon?" As the boys walk in front of them talking, they finally reach the river. It was becoming night, so all of them decided to stay there. As they all were setting up tents, James' brain clicked and he asked, "Who's cooking the food?" As they all look at each other, Kazaki and Roel said, "It's clear you can't see. We had 2 girls in our team. They will cook"
As all three of them laughed, Amaya and Aife, sweating, told them that they could not cook.
The three boys responded: "Yes, you can't cook. What!? You can't cook?"
As they become all worried, Kazaki remembers that Roel knows how to cook so he whispers to Roel: "You remember you cooked something in your last life, can we make it here?" Roel became happy, and replied, "Yes, I can cook." As Kazaki started the fire, James gathered the resources to cook.
"Okay, I will make potato stew with spices for dinner," Roel confidently said to them.
"Wow, that sounds delicious!" Aife responded.
"I can't wait to eat it," Amaya added.
And so, Roel got some potatoes, spices, and salt from his knapsack and began preparing them, slicing the potatoes and mixing the spices and salt together. He then got some water from the river and heated it in a pot, before adding in the sliced potatoes and stirring them until they became soft and cooked. After that, he added the mixed spices and salt in it and stirred them thoroughly, sending the delicious smell across the camp. Kazaki and the others smelled it, making their mouths water. Once it was cooked, Roel opened the lid, seeing the delicious and piping hot spiced potato stew.
"Dinner's ready, guys," he said to them. "Get your metal plates. I'll give you some."
They did so, and one by one, Roel put a generous amount of his dish on their plates.
"Let's eat," James said to them.
They all made a prayer gesture. "Thanks for the food."
They grabbed their utensils and ate up.
"This is so good!" Amaya commented.
"I didn't know you could cook such delicious food, Roel-kun," James added.
Kazaki eats his meal without commenting.
"Thank you," he thought.
Roel looks at them while eating, thinking that they might hear about his and Kazaki's past lives.
But since they were busy eating and savoring each bite, Roel sighed in relief.
After dinner, they are on the green, cool grass looking at the stars. This displays their friendship. While looking at the stars and constellations, James worried about Bay at Taylor's party. He wishes that she would be safe. Roel and Kazaki, meanwhile, are looking at the constellations while reminiscing about their past life together. They wished they would continue it even in this life. Aife and Amaya are pointing at some shooting stars, and they make wishes for themselves and their teammates. The night was as peaceful as ever before Kazaki grabbed his guitar and played a simple song for them.
